Different countries have different ways of saying things which seem so weird for other like:

B.E Snog
A.E make out

These both mean the same thing.
*A.E American English
*B.E British English

I don't know why but every time I come across the word snog I picture two pigs making out.

What words or terms do you find odd?

American English - truck

Yep. That's another one. The variation between both styles of the same language is interesting.

A.E. - Wee
B.E. - Pee

On the forums and games I go on, I don't know how many times I've come across someone who is British say wee instead of I need to pee.....lol for some reason it makes me think of little kids.

A.E. - Sausage
B.E. - Banger

Everytime I go to a Renaissance Fair they always have bangers...yeah you can imagine what I think of...

Anyway I found this nice little website of common differences...funneh some of um.

A.E. = Cigarette
B.E. = ***got


We just call the "fa.gs" not "fa.ggots"

A.E. condom
England: Eraser


They are called rubbers here not erasers, erasers are the things you use to rub out pencil (definently not soething to be confused with condoms)

B.E. - Fanny
A.E. - Vagina


I always love that one. Fanny's over here are vaginas but in America a fanny is a bottom.

To contrubute:

B.E. -- Tramp
A.E. -- Bum
